McDonalds to use fresh beef
- smt88 10y agoThis is terrifying. I'd much rather they use frozen. As someone who heavily relies on freezing/thawing food, the difference in flavor between previously-frozen and never-frozen beef is non-existent (as long as it's not exposed to air or moisture in the freezer).
- PhantomGremlin 10y agoI agree with you. I couldn't tell you when I was eating a fresh hamburger vs one that was previously frozen. There are potential public health benefits to freezing, but they're not as large as I had thought. For example, the sushi industry has been freezing raw fish for a while in order to get rid of parasitic worms[1]. So I assumed that also worked for bacteria. But the article says that Salmonella survives the freezing/thawing. Live and learn.
